Chapter 541: Wedding Announcement (2)
Li Xiaofei, to his surprise, discovered that in just a matter of days, his undercover persona had become the idol of countless young martial artists within Jiepeng. He was being fervently celebrated as a hero.
The light-network was flooded with self-proclaimed lifelong fans of Shinzu Genshi, many of whom hilariously claimed to have been loyal supporters for decades, even though he had only risen to fame recently.
As Shinzu Genshi’s reputation improved, the previously scandal-ridden Tsukiha Yaiba, who had been criticized for her ambiguous relationship with him, saw her own reputation skyrocket as well. The tides had turned completely.
After all, the story of a pretty boy and a wealthy woman is typically laced with cheap, sordid details. But the tale of the Light of Martial Arts and the Flower of Jiepeng could easily become a timeless legend.
The narrative of a brilliant and beautiful female family head who knows how to use talent wisely, and her loyal, peerless genius bodyguard, even if they had already rolled in the sheets in private, was reframed as a story of true love. Why criticize such a perfect pairing?
This newfound enthusiasm for the couple quickly became mainstream sentiment. Many people delighted in ‘shipping’ the two, spreading the romanticized version of their relationship far and wide. Riding the wave of this momentum, the Tsukiha Family released an official statement. The content of the statement was simple yet powerful. It included medical examination reports from the top ten hospitals in the Jiepeng Empire.
Each report stated the same conclusion. Tsukiha Yaiba was unblemished and untouched.
In this era, medical science had advanced far beyond the levels of five hundred years ago. Examinations were so thorough that even the most sophisticated reconstructive surgeries could not deceive modern technology.
Moreover, these ten hospitals were the foremost authorities in the nation. The notion that they could all be bribed simultaneously was implausible. In short, all evidence pointed to one undeniable truth, Tsukiha Yaiba had been falsely accused.
The woman who had been vilified by countless media outlets for allegedly keeping a pretty boy and leading a scandalous private life, and later embraced by fans as someone who must have secretly committed to Shinzu Genshi, had, in fact, never experienced intimacy of any kind.
She remained as pure as a snow lotus. The harsher the attacks had been, the greater the shock was now. The lost aura of prestige and admiration returned to Tsukiha Yaiba at an astonishing speed. After all, what could be more captivating than a young, pure, beautiful, and flawless goddess?
